Arroha, Tangie..er..Mistress Captain Tanguerra, ma'am..riding to hounds, ye say? rawthuh, to avoid unseemly personal..er..dampness (my apologies), i've found having the hounds ride to me to be more suitable & very much less wear-and-tear on the nifty riding costume..just a polite suggestion (your avatar's couture is most inspiring, by the way...DaveL may become, ahem, jealous..)
